Dropped for me by a Scarlet Warder :) (Yep, the one listed here)

Comment by Asher

I guess you could tag this as one of the most well-known staves in the game. I don't really see why though, besides the +29 int. If you're lucky enough to have one drop, either sell it for the gold or keep it for the NR, although it's not much. In my opinion I think it's one of those items that are better off being sold.

There are plenty of other staves that you will come across in a short amount of time that won't cost you anything.

Comment by Hyde

In blasted lands there are humanoids that carry different weapons. If you can memorize what different epic weapons look like as in graphics you can get them fairly easily. The mobs are seperated by a few warlocks and rogue like ones. The rogue-like ones carry small daggers while the locks carry staffs. If you see a lock carrying a purple staff it will most deffinately be the Glowing Brightwood staff. If you see a rogue carrying a bigger dagger it could be Krol Blade.

Pretty much if they are holding a different weapon then they will always drop that weapon.

Comment by Jivitz

This staff is probably one of the best pre-raid staves to get for any caster. Once it is replaced, I would recommend using this for NR if needed.

Comment by ennis

This is a great NR staff for AQ40 I advise anyone who has one to keep it.

Comment by skelemence

I picked one of these up in AH for 128g - the other prices were around 300g, my mage is level 39 atm ;D should I keep this for the future? Or sell it and make even more money=]

I am not a twink, I was lucky to get 2 dragon pets drop.

Comment by mrmental

Farmed rep in felwood yesterday, with 3 others from our guild and one random player. All greeded but not the "outer" 56 priest who needed. What an ass. Sure it is good but in 2 lvl when outland waits it just goes down the toilet neway, which we said. but a no go..

Dropped for me this morning from a Scarlet Warder in Tyr's Hand. Boy was I pleased for my other character!Sendei the Moonkin

Comment by Linksoul

Wow was farming in Blasted Lands and 2 drop in bout 2 week farming. Asked a enchanter is put +30 intellect on them, he did and i put them in AH. Made 475 gold apiece gave enchanter only 150 XD.

Comment by viejo

I think the odds are a wee bit off on those stegadons perhaps. I killed every stegodon in the crater, went back and killed them all after they respawned, and got halfway through a third round and ran out of bullets. Not even a green /cry

Comment by pifexx

The Glowing Brightwood Staff is a random world drop. Anyone out there trying to kill these NPCs has to realize that .02% means an average of 2 drops for every 10,000 kills. I know that acquiring epic items can take epic effort but anyone trying to farm for this staff is wasting their time.

Comment by kanjtozzft

this money maker dropped for me in burning steppes while questing blackrock slayers, gonna sell it. i was 54 hunter:)

Comment by unseenkilla

It dropped off a stegadon in un'goro for me.

Comment by Flak

Pretty much the best staff you can get for the -49 bracket. Even has a fairly decent damage range, so if you're a Shammy, you could hit reasonably hard with it. Personally I prefer the extra armor from using a shield, but if you don't fear warriors, pallies, rogues, hunters, and other shammies, go for it :)

Comment by bEwaRe

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18082I'm using this on my lock and i wouldn't trade it for Brightwood. Simply +spell damage is much more valuable on lock. Beside, this is lvl 42 and Brightwood 49... (I was lvl 49 as i wrote this)

Comment by hades200082

I have this staff on a Mage and I can say with certainty that the extra 885 mana it generates for me is well worth it.

In addition it generates 150 Health for me as well which for a mage is very handy.

The Spirit is just a bonus in my opinion since I'm a fire mage primarily. Arcane mages would do better from the extra spirit since they can have a talent to let their mana regen continue while casting.

I know that once I get into Outland I'll likely find one that's better very quickly, this will at least do me until then and possibly after for a while.

Lvl 49 Mage at time of writing

Comment by Fynaria

Completely not worth it, especially for Mages and Warlocks who want some spell damage. Bought this for 225g in AH and a week later, got a better staff from a quest in Outlands at level 58.

Don't bother with this staff.

Comment by Mazorp

This is a great twink staff, otherwise it is rather useless at this point. The main selling point for a twink is it's relatively insane stats and that is is above the Level Required 35 limit which means TBC enchants can be used on it. Keep in mind that is however is a very bad leveling item, at 49 you're pretty close to heading to Outlands and therefore the 9 levels of leveling this will take you to is not worth it. It's well known item stats explode once you hit Outlands.

Again, great twink item, poor leveling item.

Comment by Smarterchild7

I just bought this for my mage. I had to buy it for what they wanted lol. 50g!!! also added 40 spell damage for less than 60g worth of enchanting supplies. was really lucky

Comment by iwasprepared

waste of goldyou can use the staff from ZF and add 40 spell Dmg ,but that is blue this is purple(EPIX!)

Comment by Artinz

This is most likely the Staff that the Female Blood Elf Paladin/Priest used in TBC intro to ressurect the dead Orc. I'm still looking for the armor for her, I don't know if they are ingame items

Comment by Frostshade

FIRST DROP FROM A PTERRORDAX?!?!?!?!

Comment by bipolar

very nice staff....if your trying to save for lvl 60 epic mount try to get this..might take a while but big boost to cash for it.

Comment by Bulooc

Hello can somone please help me. sense this staff has higher DPS would it do better for my 49 twink sham then the kang? thnaks

Comment by Mardonis

Got mine off of a bloodpetal trapper, a mob not even listed on the "Dropped by" list.

Comment by TomL

How is this better than the Staff of Jordan? For a twink who would want the most damage possible, I'd choose the SoJ over this, unless someone can explain how the extra MP and HP this gives is worth it.

Comment by Chandalen

I got this for my 49 twink priest and plan on putting a +30 int enchant on it which will give it 59 int! i got it for only 125g too which is amazing on my server where it goes for 300-450g .

Comment by oplock

Yes this has an insane amount of int and stam for its level, but I would think that http://www.wowhead.com/?item=11750 would about the same, and much easier to get. You give up 5 stam and 17 int for about 1% crit and 15 spell damage (not counting the nature resist, which is very situational).

Comment by nickthegrrr

good for hunter twink, with +35 agil

Comment by nickthegrrr

Comment by Anubus

Has anyone tried this as a lvl 49 twink enhancement shammy weapon? It has the most dps of any two-hander for that level and the stats would be nice considering all your other gear would have stats for melee damage, this would boost you mana pool and stamina a bit. Just a thought.

Comment by Aljo

It saddens me to see how twinks of all classes fight for the once oh so loved staff :(

Comment by xxxillidanxxx

this staff best for moonkin twinks or any restoration healer class twink or not

Comment by nemohawk22

Comment by Pithrandil

Little bit of nonsensical rubbish- this looks almost identical to Whitemane in SM's staff.

Comment by Cullendisorder

Levelling my Death Knight, I was just running around questing, and as there are loads of Scarlet Guards etc with an aggro range of about ten miles, I managed to kill a few when protecting an NPC and then dropped the staff! I sure wasn't expecting an epic to drop, then I looked at the drop chances and I was even more amazed! These things seem to drop when I'm not even looking for them! :)

Comment by ruthlessrocks

This dropped off a mob in BRD for me a couple of days ago. I hate this instance for various reasons so I feel somewhat compensated for having to run it so many times.

Comment by SyrJoseph

Just had it drop off Chieftain Bloodmaw! Could not believe my eyes.

Comment by Demonfel

Lmao, Just dropped of the 1st mob i killed in Tyr's hand wilst farming Runecloth for my DK. Stoked..

Comment by Ahuchan

this is a true story

I was in lbrs just doing the instance when one of these dropped.

We all greeded and I won it

Then, about 10 min later, ANOTHER dropped. I dont know of thats rare or not but it was cool

Comment by brettnelly94

first epic.....i miss it ='[

having an epic replaced by a green definitely doesn't feel very epic at all...

Comment by deeber14

Got this staff yesterday playing my dk starting off at the plaguelands, was with a buddy, we both needed and i won, i wen't bananas

Comment by viggiroth

Just bought this in the AH for 300g. Nice leveling staff for my alt...it's funny I remember this staff Pre-BC when I was a Warrior. Now that I'm spellcasting I slap myself in the face when people where buying this Pre-BC, upwards of 2k gold. Yeah, I'm close to Outlands, but I don't care; I'll make it last because it is a worthwhile investment.

Comment by darkonas

this staff just droped for me about 10 mintues ago. i put it on the ah for 500 gold and it sold as soon as i got back to my inn. it droped in Dire Maul for me now im going back tomarrow to try for it again.

Comment by Rosehip

This dropped off of a Blue Scalebane in Azshara. I was farming for an Azure Whelpling and this was totally unexpected. I hope that people who DO farm this item purposely gain the luck that I did.

Comment by ToWi1989

dropped for me but never saw the importance of it till i read this. Ive seen it sell for around 1.5k but im wondering who the hell would ever buy it for that kinda money? I think i'd better save it for twinking my lock

Comment by Booterang

First epic world drop I ever found. Sold it for 320g to a priest. Best staff for the twink 49 bracket until the BoA staffs came out.

Comment by Valruin

Sold for 2.5k on Aggramar Europe Alliance.

Comment by kikiko3

Alright... nice stats and model... but the name doesnt make sense... IT DOESNT GLOW!

Comment by megapallydude

it doesnt glow :(

Comment by Gonzalitus

Comment by BeastPredator

I received a Glowing Brightwood Staff from a Putrid Gargoyle, level 54, Eastern Plaguelands, but as I looked on the drop charts, I found that nobody got one from this monster. So should I just submit a screenshot if the drop?

Comment by quased

This thing needs an heirloom based off of it. Badly. I still keep my old one around out of pure nostalgia. I was literally the talk of Orgrimmar for a couple of days after getting this in Vanillatimes.

Comment by Synergetic

Best Looking Stave in the game. I love it. I have in my bank as well.

Comment by quased

This thing should form the basis of a new Heirloom Item. It was serious business to have a Glowing Brightwood Staff in Vanillatimes.

Comment by Gabbyw5678

Just had this staff drop for me. I'm an 80 so I don't have much use for it now but I don't think I want to sell it either :< It's lovely.

Comment by Aerolite08

Like a bajillion and a half old-world items without AP/SP/etc this staff won't change one bit. For this was their endgame weapon if they were unable to get into 40mans way back when. Lots of Int and some other stats, as little in those times had actual SP on it.

It will, however, become something more than a simple stat-stick when all that yummy Int is being used to generate SP. Might be worth holding onto if you find it around now, it could be useful later. There's actually a bunch of other BoEs that will as well (some greens that will be blues, for example) but this one comes to mind for some reason.

Comment by Mathiasa

Even though it's not that great to level with or so, I still bought it because I can..

Comment by bigblackbiz

What's so great about it? Staff of Jordan is usable at 14 levels lower, but upgrading from Staff of Jordan to Glowing Brightwood Staff gives you:

-2 Stamina-2 Spirit+7 Intellect

And no, I'm not going to count the nature resist because who needs nature resistance gear as a leveling healer?

It looks cool I guess.

Comment by connorc28

Honestly if you have this on a frost mage with a nice enchant on it you can really kick some ass,the only thing i recommend is when you get to level 60 use azuresong mageblade and hellfire tome, these combined is an obvious upgrade if you are doing raids, but also equally good for pvp. and if you arent getting any drop from molten core for the mageblade, use staff of hale magefire, its also good.

Comment by Haisca

Comment by Kantorock

My Frost Mage picked up this staff at lvl50 while questing in the Blasted Lands. She's now lvl72, and still has it. I have yet to find a superior weapon stat-wise that does not require a toon to be at least lvl80 to wield.

The +29 INT is a lifesaver for me, as I tend to run out of mana quickly. The +15 Stamina is great for those times when a target gets past my Mage's Frostfire and Frostbolt. The +15 NR is a great bonus, especially when you're PVPing against those blasted Droods. The only thing I find lacking is the +9 Spirit, which kind of doesn't mean anything to me when you take into account Mage Armor and Glyph of Mage Armor. That and the fact that I can't Reforge the blasted thing...

Comment by xAshy

Looks incredible with Fiery Weapon enchant!

Comment by Melilithia

I saw this drop once in BRD...

Everybody went into the MC raid though, and well... needless to say nobody received the staff. Lesson learned.

Comment by Wadazable

Just bought this on AH for 500g :p Bet i can sell it for more money.

Comment by Jumek

So I was questing in Badlands on my druid, and I was doing the quest where you kill war reavers for their parts. I thought I grabbed them all, but I was missing some obsidium parts or whatever they were called. So I go back to kill some more of them, and this staff dropped off one of them. Its the first world epic ive ever gotten :D Pretty cool looking for transmog gear, especially for a priest, so hopefully I get some high bidders on it :p

Comment by sarrsarr99

I bought this off AH 125 gold for trans, kinda alot but looks awesome with my felheart warlock gear. :D

Comment by Talonheart

Picked this up in Swamp of Sorrows while questing on my priest during Wrath. I knew it was something special, so I held onto it even after I replaced it. It now looks ultra sexy with my T7 10man transmog. ;D

Comment by Terrorshark

Just got ninja'd by a tank monk who's off spec is dps because he suddenly got the urge to go healing and "needed offspec" and (of course) won the roll. Meanwhile my weapon has +6stam and +6crit... Even the mage and lock passed it to me when it was marginal upgrades for both of them.

Comment by Monthy

Can inform you all that it dropped for me today on Argent Dawn, (of all realms ha,ha (RP)).

Now let's see what it will bring on the AH. Might add that later.

/It'ssssssss

Comment by whiskeygrl

just went through about ten crates of salvage today and this staff just dropped from the last one, just letting anyone in search of it know it does definitely come from them
